If we want to create a different future, we must have the courage to look at the past.

Healing comes when our story is raw, bone-deep and full of hunger for what only Jesus can offer.

The desire for beauty, the hunger for union, the passion to be part of something greater than self, all arise out of our bent to worship.

A reluctant leader is highly suspicious of people who work to accumulate and hoard power.

Life is war, and marriage provides us with a close and intimate ally with whom we may wage this war. The battle requires bold love, forgiveness, confrontation, and repentance.

The sole reason to serve as a Christian is Jesus, yet He is easily lost in the various activities that consume our days.

Genuine trust involves allowing another to matter and have an impact in our lives. For that reason, many who hate and do battle with God trust Him more deeply than those whose complacent faith permits an abstract and motionless stance before Him. Those who trust God most are those whose faith permits them to risk wrestling with Him over the deepest questions of life. Good hearts are captured in a divine wrestling match; fearful, doubting hearts stay clear of the mat.
